As Congress continues its gridlock over immigration, the humanitarian crisis at the southern border continues to deteriorate.
Lawyers who visited an overcrowded border station in Clint, Texas, earlier this month said they were met with a “chaotic scene of sickness and filth” where “hundreds of young people who have recently crossed the border are being held,” according to the New York Times. Texas Republican Rep. Michael McCaul echoed the lawyers’ concerns and said his state’s immigration detention centers are in the “worst” conditions he’s ever seen, as did Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, who told the Washington Examiner Monday that the border crisis has “never been worse than it is today.”
